The world is on its head
And faces glued to screens
Waiting for good news
That never comes it seems
But while hugs become myths
The sky becomes clear
Hero’s recognized
And appreciation reappears
I know time feels slow
but I promise we’ll hug soon
And if mermaids can stay home
I know that we can too

"Quarantined Mermaid" was created in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. This photo represents the mixture of emotions that were felt across the world from fear and frustration to deep sadness as people watched from behind screens. Each element in this composite helps create the story of a mermaid isolated at home waiting, watching, and hoping.
